The story of Rosa Parks will be told in a new way when "Behind the Movement" airs on Sunday.

The made-for-TV movie will premiere on TV One at 7 p.m. and follows the Montgomery Bus Boycott that took place from 1955 to 1956.

Parks, a black Christian activist, boarded a city bus along with three black men and sat in a section reserved for white people. The bus driver, in accordance with city law, asked them to move to the back of the bus. The three men complied, but Parks refused.

Actress Meta Golding ("The Hunger Games") stars as Parks in the movie and said she spent time in church to research the historical figure.

"Mrs. Parks was a woman of faith and was very active in her church community, so I went to a lot of old-school churches and it was really amazing," Golding said in an interview with The New York Post this week. "Because I always think it's so interesting — the way people worship. Especially in the civil rights movement. Historically, black churches were leaders. [In my regular life] I go to a nondenominational church — so this was definitely a new experience."

"I felt the Lord would give me the strength to endure whatever I had to face. God did away with all my fear," Parks wrote. "It was time for someone to stand up — or, in my case, sit down. I refused to move."

Actress Golding said she believes it's important for people to witness the modern retelling of Parks' story in order to understand important moments in history.

"I felt like, 'We've gotta get this right for younger people who might watch this in school,'" she said. "You want to be able to tell the story right, because you know you're affecting how people will see our own history."
